Two more down

This past week has been Crrrrrazy! My daughter turned one on Saturday so we had a big family/friend bash for her. Our house is not, "guest friendly" every moment, so it takes us a little time to get it to be "guest friendly". One of my friends used that quote today and it really made me laugh. "Guest friendly". HA! I keep the house livable, but with two kids and my husband working two full time jobs, it gets a little "UN-guest friendly" at times. ANYWAY, I think I burned a LOT of energy on cleaning and prepping for her b-day bash. Then, if a b-day wasn't enough, I decided to feed my now one year old her first peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Well, after ONE BITE, her body freaked out. Literally. Hives immediately popped up on her lip, then face and within minutes they were all over her body. Almost as if 1000's of mosquito's had attacked her in under 5 minutes. She was obviously reacting to the peanut butter. So, after a visit to the ER, she rested very well last night and hardly has a remnant of hives on her body today. She does have scratch marks on some places that she actually scratched raw. The entire ordeal made me sick at my stomach. Now we know we have a child allergic to peanuts. So, from now on, when you read those ingredient labels and see, "made with peanuts" or, "manufactured around peanuts" you can think of my lovely daughter Katie. Now I'm one of those paranoid PEANUT parents!

Maybe will all of the stress, that's what caused my body to kick two more pounds! OR, it could be that I've been eating right :-) Either way, I'm 2 pds less and I'm okay with that!
